The Carnivorous Plant FAQ Field Trip Report -

Western Australia in 2007

Return to the Trip Overview

Pygmy:
We also found Drosera nitidula. Who doesn't like to see pygmy sundews, eh?

For me, the southwestern corner of Australia feels very much like southern or central California. This is partly because both share Mediterranean climates, and partly because Australian Eucalyptus are so frequently grown in California. So when Allen showed us the next plant, my first impression was that he was showing me Drosera filiformis, which I have found growing as a non-native in California.
